Frequently asked questions

Which intolerances does Dried plum affect?

Dried plum is notable for FODMAPs, sorbitol, histamine, tyramine, salicylate and nickel. Clear on sucrose, lactose, oligosaccharides, fructose, oxalates and gluten.

Does Dried plum contain FODMAPs?

Yes — Dried plum is high in FODMAPs. Prunes are sold as a laxative, and the mechanism is the one this axis measures: sorbitol draws water into the bowel and ferments. Drying multiplied what the plum already had. Nothing here is a surprise, and the threshold is two or three.

Does Dried plum contain sorbitol?

Yes — Dried plum is high in sorbitol. Prunes are the clearest demonstration of what drying does: the water leaves, the sorbitol stays, and what was a moderate fruit becomes a laxative sold as one.

Does Dried plum contain histamine?

Dried plum contains moderate levels of histamine. Drying concentrates everything, amines included, and prunes are a documented liberator on top. The dose is what catches people: a handful is a lot more fruit than it looks.

Does Dried plum contain tyramine?

Dried plum contains only low levels of tyramine. Prunes carry little tyramine. The amine is built by bacteria from tyrosine while a food ages or ferments, and drying a plum does neither - it takes away the water those bacteria would need. Amounts vary by brand and recipe, so always check the label of the exact product.
